The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter DISFRANCHISE THEM The question has arisen. In the minds of the members of the local exemption board as to whether or not the members of the Christadelphia religious society are entitled to non-combatant certificates on the ground that they are members of a well recognized sect whose creed forbids its members to engage in warfare. The question rests chiefly on whether or not the organization is a well-recognized sect. The proper manner of handling these men who refuse to fight because they do not believe in war, is to disfranchise them. The man who leaves the defense of the nation when it is in peril in the hands of others, if he is otherwise eligible for service, should not have equal rights with those who preserve our liberty by defeating the enemy on the battlefield. He should be deprived of his citizenship and be treated as an alien. Our nation and our liberties would be short lived if we were all Christadelphians. The Kaiser could not be expected to stop fighting because his enemy did not believe in war. We would even be at- the mercy of our bandit-ridden neighbor on the south. He could send a ragged army of cutthroats across the Rio Grande and make slaves of us. OIL FIELD NOTES By ELLWOOD J. MUNGER The middle of February finds the oil operators very busy and activity of the most intensity is apparent through out the entire Whittier-Fullerton-Montebello field. A strenuous effort is being made to develop every barrel of oil that can possibly be developed. The oil operators are certainly doing their bit in the winning of the war in that they are carrying on the development work on a very uncertain future. The scarcity of pipe on all leases of the field is being felt keenly. Wells are being temporarily completed, others are being put on the beam in the shallow sands, and a few are closed down until sufficient pipe is in the field to complete them. The price of oil well drilling supplies continues to soar, and with the government making plans to set the price of the fuel oils the oil operators have still more trouble awaiting them. Nevertheless a tremendous amount of development work is going right ahead and the biggest companies in the field are making plans to proceed with the work just as though times and conditions were normal. The Amalgamated Oil company drilling in the Brea field have made some excellent progress during the past week. On the Hualde property the Amalgamated have succeeded in straightening up a bad hole, remedying pipe troubles, and have finished redrilling well No. 2 to 3397 and are now making new hole. The company are very fortunate in being able to get the hole down to its original depth and now stand a good show to finish this weel up in good conditions. No. 5 on the same property has made field.

He should be deprived of his citizenship and be treated as an alien. Our nation and our liberties would be short lived if we were all Christadelphians. The Kaiser could not be expected to stop fighting because his enemy did not believe in war. We would even be at- the mercy of our bandit-ridden neighbor on the south. He could send a ragged army of cutthroats across the Rio Grande and make slaves of us. The man whose religious belief will not permit him to defend the nation when it is threatened should not be permitted to have a voice in its government. He should be disfranchised. CANNOT TURN BACK In a speech before congress Monday on the war situation, President Wilson said that in the recent address of Chancellor Von Hertling he could see no possibilities of peace with Germany at the present time. In conclusion he said: I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United States if I did not say once more that we entered this war upon no small occasion and that we never can turn back from a course chosen upon principle. Our resources are in part mobilized now and we shall not pause until they are mobilized in their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fighting front and will go more and more rapidly. Our whole strength will be put into this war of emancipation—emancipation from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulers—whatever the difficulties and present partial delays. We are indomitable in our power of independent action and can in no circumstances consent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. We believe that our own desire for a new international order under which reason and justice and the common interests of mankind shall prevail is the desire of enlightened men everywhere. Without that new order the world will be without peace and human life will lack tolerable conditions of existence and development. Having set our hand to the task of achieving it, we shall not turn back. I hope that it is not necessary for me to add that no word of what I have said is intended as a threat. That is not the temper of our people. I have spoken them only that the whole ing in the Brea field have made some excellent progress during the past week. On the Hualde property the Amalgamated have succeeded in straightening up a bad hole, remedying pipe troubles, and have finished redrilling well No. 2 to 3397 and are now making new hole. The company are very fortunate in being able to get the hole down to its original depth and now stand a good show to finish this weel up in good conditions. No. 5 on the same property has made 2005 feet of hole and going good. The Amalgamated Oil company drilling on the Huntington tract near Los Angeles have succeeded in getting the hole down in good shape to a depth of 2950 feet. At this depth the formation is brown shale with no trace of oil as yet. It begins to look as the oil sand is beyond the 3000 mark at Huntington. The Birch Oil company drilling on the famous Birch Hill property near Brea have an excellent outlook at No. 14 the only new well the Birch Oil company is drilling. The well is now down 3100 feet. The condition of the hole is excellent and the pipe is moving freely. The well is beginning to show up very encouragingly and another well that will duplicate the famoud No. 5 the "The three million dollar well" may not be a rash prediction. Superintendent Joe Royer is the man who drilled the famous No. 5 and he still knows how to get a good well. The Brea Canyon Oil drilling two wells in the Brea field have No. 14 in the oil sand rilling at 3475 in a fine grade of oil sand that bespeaks a good well for the enterprising little oil company. No. 29 is drilling at 3576. Both wells are now putting in casings and the drilling will be rushed to completion. The Copa De Ora Oil company's well in Chino Canyon has been watched with intense interest during the past year, as success in this locality means the opening of a great to the finish and until that sort of a peace shall obtain. The president is doing diplomacy in the open. No closed door conferences for him, nor private settlements between individual nations, by which he probably took a shot at the recently-agreed-to peace between Urkalnia and the Germans. If conditions brought about a world cataclysm involving 23 separate nations, he proposes that the only kind of peace that can be lasting ON THE BASIS OF ETERNAL JUSTICE Two features will stand out like blazing beacons to a wartorn world in President Wilson's latest message to congress, which is in effect a proclamation to the 23 nations which are at war: First, that America stands for and demands a peace settlement based on the principles of exact justice, with account taken of the weakest as well as the strongest nations, that each shall have not what their might have taken nor be stripped of what their weakness may have lost, but what their national and racial aspirations may entitle them to which will at the same best comport with the probabilities of a lasting peace; and Second, that America is in the war to the finish and until that sort of a peace shall obtain. The president is doing diplomacy in the open. No closed door conferences for him, nor private settlements between individual nations, by which he probably took a shot at the recently-agreed-to peace between Urkainia and the Germans. If conditions brought about a world cataclysm involving 23 separate nations, he proposes that the only kind of peace that can be lasting is a peace in the making of which they all participate, to the terms of which they all agree, and which must be, on the average, fair to all of them. Confessedly, the president is seeking to interest Austria and make an entering wedge between that nation and Germany, and is answering the recent declarations of the Austrian premier, which are supposed to have created a near-panic in Germany. As the result of this reply, Austria must either make further suggestions, or be placed in an awkward position before the world, while all the diplomatic advantages will be with the United States, which again boldly declares that she is in this war for no selfish purpose and that her power and resources will not be used for our own aggrandizement. As a restatement of America's purposes in the war, it could not be more forcibly and at the same time more kindly voiced. It makes the situation entirely clear to both elements of the German people—to the militarists that we will fight them until they give up that idol, and the Germany of the masses that we sympathize with their every aspiration. It will cheer every ally in every hemisphere, and it will more than ever unite Americans at home, who are willing to stake millions of men and billions of money on such a cause.

No. was made field. The Copa De Oro's well is now 3725 feet deep, the formation is hard gray sand with no showings of oil whatever. The possibilities are beginning to fade somewhat as it was considered some time ago that the oil sand would be located before this depth was reached. How ever the condition of the hole is good and the company is in a position to 4000 feet if necessary. The Columbia Oil company has made very marked progress during the past week both in the Olinda field and in the Brea field. At Olinda well No. 28 is down to 3000 feet with the drilling going nicely. No. 29 is in good condition a gain and drilling at 3150 feet. On the Orange lease at Brea No. 8 is drilling at 2100 feet with the hole going down rapidly. No. 8 is going a little slow on account of the hard formation but good progress is being made at 475 feet. The Fullerton Oil company whose two wells ha dthe distinction of having five strings of tools lost in them at the same time is making considerable headway in getting the wells in condition to redrill and sidetrack. At No. 10 redrilling is now underway at 2875. The former depth of the well was 3566. The Fullerton company has been working on this well for the past six years and are not as deep now as they were two years ago. The Olinda Land company drilling in the extreme eastern end of Brea field has located a new well to be known as No. 20. No. 19 is drilling at a depth of 1000 feet. A strong gas pressure is the encouraging feature in this well: No. 2 one of the first wells drilled has been redrilled and deepened 800 feet. The well is showing up very strongly and gives every evidence of going on the beam at a greatly increased production. The Tri-State Oil company met with a few days ago that rotating along side some lost drill pipe at 2900 feet. The Bixby wells of the Union Oil company at Long Beach has been closed down temporarily until some special fishing tools are made to go ahead with the work of straightening the hole out to resume drilling. A rather difficult fishing job is off and special tools and careful work will mean a great deal in getting the hole clear again. The Graham-Loftus lease five years ago was the center of the best wells in the Brea field many of them coming in at 2000 a day. The Union have just completed and put on the pump No. 40 and 42. Both wells are not making a 100 barrels. No. 43 is drilling in the shale at 3200. No. 49 is redrilling at 1780, and No. 51 is redrilling at 1285. The Union Oil company is making preparations for the completion of Hole No. 15. The well is 3650 feet deep and is drilling in the oil sand. A liner is being put and the well will be on the beam now in a few days. Hole 15 marks the close of the development work on this lease for the present time at least. WILL DROP GERMAN On the recommendation of Professor Prince the Anaheim high school board at the meeting Tuesday night unanimously decided to discontinue the study of German in the school. This order will not take effect until the close of this semester, as a number of the seniors are studying it and they would not be permitted to graduate unless all their studies were finished. ANAHEIM PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev. Malcolm C. Martín, Pastor. AMERICAN INVENTOR OFFERS DEFI TO SUBS Non-Sinkable Ship to Make Its Malden Voyage Across the Sea The first non-sinkable sea-going ship, the Lucia, achieved of American genius, will load this week and leave for Europe. She will be without convoy at any stage of the voyage. She goes as an open challenge to the German submarines to prove that she is invulnerable. No other test has been made or will be made of the efficacy of her multiplicity of airtight and watertight cells. Her trial trip and malden voyage will be a defi to the U-boats or the most practical test possible—their markmanship. It had been intended to make a test of the Lucia in drydock but it was learned from John A. Donald, vice-president of the Emergency Fleet Corporation and Shipping Board commissioner, that the drydock test had been abandoned for drastic trial in the proving grounds of the danger zone. William F. Donnelly, inventor of the non-sinkable construction of the Lucia, a marine engineer of New York, will have complete charge of the loading of the vessel. Although the Lucia is fitted with 12,000 of the water and air-tight cells permanently attached to the frames and deck beams and other available spaces of the vessel, about 15 to 20 per cent of the cargo space must be packed with additional numbers of these buoyant boxes. Mr. Donnelly personally will supervise this final phase of the safety equipment. SUBSTITUTION OF WOOD FOR COAL URGED That at least 75 per cent of the fuel The Oriental Land company drilled in the extreme eastern end of Brea field has located a new well to be known as No. 20. No. 19 is drilling at a depth of 1000 feet. A strong gas pressure is the encouraging feature in this well: No. 2 one of the first wells drilled has been redrilled and deepened 800 feet. The well is showing up very strongly and gives every evidence of going on the beam at a greatly increased production. The Tri-State Oil company met with a slight reverse a few days ago that prevented the making of any new hole this week. A cave in took place and 175 feet of the hole was filled up. This has been recovered and the tools are digging on bottom at 5475. Good strong oil color showings continue and the deep well is going ahead under very hopeful conditions. West Coast Oil company announced a successful water shut off at No. 63. A recent test substantiates the Perkins cementing system as good. No. 68 held up with pipe trouble has been swedged out and drilling is going ahead again at 2355. No. 74 is drilling at 2220 with progress very good. On account of the pipe shortage in the Whittier field the Standard Oil company has been compelled to slow down on development work at Whittler and at Montebello. Drilling work on the Murphy lease is progressing at top speed. The Standard Oil company has ten strings of tools running and the results being obtained are very gratifying. Murphy No. 26 is drilling at 4266. No. 31 is cementing hole being 4007 feet deep and water still menacing. At No. 33 an attempt is being successfully made to drill by a string of pipe. No. 34 is drilling at 3735. No. 35 is being tested for water at 3327. No. 36 has been cemented at 3630. No. 37 is drilling at 4045. No. 38 has 3440 feet of hole and is drilling. No. 39 has been cemented at 3290, and No. 40 is drilling at 2633. No. 42 has 2560 feet of hole and is going down rapidly. No. 43 is being tested for water. On account of the pipe shortage the Standard Oil company is continuing the pumping of a number of wells in the upper sands. These wells are Nos. 49, 51 and 52. As soon as the pipe is available the wells will be drilled deeper. No. 50 is drilling at 2350. No. 53 has handed the 12½ casing at 1854. No. 54 is drilling at 1420. No. 55 is 1056 feet deep. No. 56 is 921, and No. 57 is 800 feet deep and all are drilling. No. 6 the Standard Oil company's board at the meeting Tuesday night unanimously decided to discontinue the study of German in the school. This order will not take effect until the close of this semester, as a number of the seniors are studying it and they would not be permitted to graduate unless all their studies were finished.

STANARDIZATION OF ROADS Complete standarization of railroad equipment is the economic measure being worked out by the railroad administration today. Only by government control, it was pointed out, can this be done effectively. In case roads return to private control after the war, it is possible that the government will sell direct this work—Individual companies having been unable to agree on such a plan, despite persistent attempts in this direction. Standarization is being worked out under the department of purchase of the railroad administration. It will apply from such small pieces as bolts and brake parts up to locomotives. At present locomotives are constructed on so many plans that repairs are constantly impeded because to get parts. It will be impossible, however, to use uniform locomotives throughout the United States. Mountain engines, freight, passenger and engines for use in the north and in the south must be different in many respects but general uniformity can be achieved, it is believed. Box and open top freight cars will offer the greatest field for economy and speed in this work. Brake shoes, beams, doors and other parts will be adopted for nationwide use. Pullman coaches are fairly well standardized it was pointed out, but there is room for development in regard to chair SUBSTITUTION OF WOOD FOR COAL URGED That at least 75 per cent of the fuel used in California should be wood, making possible the saving of a greater amount of coal for war purposes, is the statement made by Professor M. B. Pratt of the University of California Division of Forestry in an article entitled "The Use of Wood for Fuel." Professor Pratt continues, in part: "A cord of seasoned eucalyptus, oak or manzahita has fuel value equal to that of a ton of coal. There are many plantations of eucalyptus in central and Southern Callifornia, and large areas of oak, manzanita, pine and fir in the foothills of the Sierra and central valleys and in the coast ranges, which it would be profitable to cut into cord wood at the prevailing rate. Moreover, a large supply of cord-wood will greatly aid in the conservation of coal next year when it may be needed much more than at present. Now is the time to cut wood so that it may season by fall. "Mill blocks of pine and Douglas fir—while they have not as many heat units per cord as a cord of hardwood, such as eucalyptus or oak, make a quick hot fire, which is all that is needed for certain portions of the year in many parts of California when a fire is desired only long enough to take off the chill. A more extensive use could well be made of this class of fuel which is so abundant, inexpensive and easily obtainable." The division of forestry of the University of California is ready to answer inquiries and make investigations pertaining to the fuel value and markets for cord-wood cut in this state. Professor Pratt's article was written at the request of the Acting Forester at Washington, D.C., who is waging a campaign to urge the use of wood whenever possible in order to conserve coal. JAP FISHERMEN STRIKE Japanese fishermen at the harbor went on a strike refusing to fish for any cannery that did not at least six On account of the pipe shortage the Standard Oil company is continuing the pumping of a number of wells in the upper sands. These wells are Nos. 49, 51 and 52. As soon as the pipe is available the wells will be drilled deeper. No. 50 is drilling at 2350. No. 53 has handed the 12½ casing at 1854. No. 54 is drilling at 1420. No. 55 is 1056 feet deep. No. 56 is 921, and No. 57 is 800 feet deep and all are drilling. No. 6 the Standard Oil company's well on the Baldwin property that made such a spectacular showing early last week has settled down to a 2300 gallt. The well on completion gave evidence of being good for 8000 barrels. On account of the presence of a considerable amount of mud it is believed that as soon as the well gets thoroughly cleaned out the production will be in bigger figures. Baldwin No. 4 has been cemented at 2505. No. 4 is pulling 10' casing from 1770 feet of hole. This casing is needed for other wells and is being removed as fast as possible. No. 8 is testing for water at 1990 feet. Nos. 10, 11, and 12 are drilling at 2221, 2674, and 1941 respectively. On the Temple property adjoining the Baldwin property the Standard Oil company has two wells drilling. Temples No. 3 is holding up very well on production. No. 4 is testing for water at 1207, and No. 5 is drilling at 1810. The Union Oil company has nineteen strings of tools operating in the Brea-Montebello field and is having its share of the difficulties with a few of the wells that goes with the oil business. On the Bastanchury lease No. 5 is held up with pipe trouble and an attempt is being made to swedge out the string. Bastanchury No. 6 is NOTICE OF TAKING UP ESTRAY ANIMAL Notice is hereby given that I, the undersigned, Chas. Luther, of Buena Park, Orange County, California, on the 20th day of January, 1918, took up a certain estray Jersey cow, of the age of about twelve years, brindle in color, dehorned, and having tag in right ear marked, "Dr. O. J. Osborne No. 61." That said cow has no marks or brands other than hereinbefore specified. That said cow is probably worth the sum of $25.00. That said cow was found by me, and is now confined by me, on my ranch located about two and one half miles South-west of Buena Park, Orange County, California. That my Post Office address is Buena Park, California, R. F. D. No. 1, Box 113. That on the 16th of March, 1918, I will deliver said cow to the Constable of Buena Park Township, Orange County, California to be sold. Dated February 11, 1918. (2-14-4t) CHAS. LUTHER Japanese fishermen at the harbor went on a strike refusing to fish for any cannery that did not at least six tons of fish from each boat that brings in a catch of this amount or over. There has been considerable dissatisfaction among the Japanese since the price was fixed at $15 per ton by Stoddard Jess, representing the Food Administration, and it culminated yesterday in the rule to sell no fish unless at least six tons per boat were taken. Not all the canneries are affected by the strike. Those packing in quarter oils as well as round cans are able to pack fish of all sizes and can take the entire catches. Both White Star were running yesterday. At Fish Harbor the International cannery, which packs round cans almost exclusively, and the Southern California, which handles quarter oils and ovals, were shut down. Not being able to guarantee that they could take all the fish offered, the fishermen on the boats serving them refused to go out. Unusually heavy catches have been made during the past few weeks. One boat recently brought in twenty-eight tons in one haul, which, at $15, brought the fishermen $420. The seven men in the crew, including the share for the boat, got $60 each for their day's work. When the canneries are not able to take all of the fish caught, the markets for cord-wood cut in this state. Professor Pratt's article was written at the request of the Acting Forester at Washington, D.C., who is waging a campaign to urge the use of wood whenever possible in order to conserve coal.

If you have no money I am here to help you just the same. surplus is sold to the fish meal plants at $7.50 per ton. The new demand means the that the fishermen want a guarantee that they will receive $90 per catch at the top price before selling any fish for fish meal at the low price.

Columbia University took on something of the appearance of an armed camp after the middle of a January, for then began to arrive, in squads of 100 at a time, 4000 officers of the reserves to learn the most advanced methods of aerial and land photography, and cinema operation. The school is to be managed solely by the government. Only persons who understand the difficulty that has been experienced in projecting photographs that have been filmed by different makes of moving-picture cameras can appreciate the object of the government in assembling 400 men to study cinematography, as well as "still" photograph, at Columbia. The government has overcome the principal difficulty in perfect cinema operation by standardizing everything connected with its cinema work and wants these officers to become accustomed to the government equipment, so that pictures taken by different cinematographers may be projected without a flaw upon the same screen. Some idea of the government's appreciation of camera work as a war measure may be gathered from the fact that 5000 war airplanes have and are being built with camera observation equipments, and men will be trained to take still pictures as the airship volplanes to a height of 1400 feet above the earth, an average height proved best for picture taking. This altitude of course subjects both pilot and cinematographer to the risk of being hit by aerial gunfire; so to off-set this danger,themen go up to secure photographs of an enemy country about sundown. Very little light is needed for taking pictures from a high altitude,and when the pilot-volplanes downward to the required level in the air he trusts to good fortune and the dim light to assist him in making a safe as well as rapid escape. In the moving-picture propaganda the aim of the government is twofold: to educate the American public in what the nation is doing with our soldiers abroad and to instill in the minds of soldiers in camps where the films will be exhibited an even greater patriotism.
